Brandon B‑Doggs Mitchell was 20 when he was shot and killed in Manhattan on August 8, 1990. A member of the emerging new jack swing group Wreckx-n-Effect, Mitchell’s death followed an argument reportedly over a woman and abruptly ended a promising music career as the group was gaining attention with the hit New Jack Swing. The band added an x to their name as a tribute after his death.

Despite the public nature of the killing and its impact on the hip‑hop community, no arrests were ever announced and no suspects have been publicly identified or charged. The murder remains unsolved. If anyone knew Brandon, his circle, or witnessed the events that night in Manhattan, please share what can help bring answers.
